Suzaku Wide-band All-sky Monitor (WAM) observations of GRBs and SGRs
Abstract
We will review results for gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) and soft gamma repeaters (SGRs), obtained from the Suzaku Wide-band All-sky Monitor (WAM) which operated for about 10 years from 2005 to 2015. The WAM is a BGO (bismuth germanate: Bi<SUB>4</SUB>Ge<SUB>3</SUB>O<SUB>12</SUB>) lateral shield for the Hard X-ray Detector (HXD), used mainly for rejecting its detector background, but it also works as an all-sky monitor for soft gamma-ray transients in the 50-5000 keV range thanks to its large effective area (∼600 cm<SUP>2</SUP> at 1 MeV for one detector) and wide field of view (about half of the entire sky). The WAM actually detected more than 1400 GRBs and 300 bursts from SGRs, and this detection number is comparable to that of other GRB-specific instruments. Based on the 10 years of operation, we describe timing and spectral performance for short GRBs, weak GRBs with high redshifts, and time-resolved pulses with good statistics....
